vaniok 0 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hello, We are currently migrating from 5.x to the new 6.x versions and had to halt it a little bit due to on-demand scan being to ... demanding The thing is, when an on-demand scan is executed via ERA or locally, it scans everything including NTFS symbolic links. An example will clarify it: OS: Windows 8.1 Scan: On-demand full scan with cleaning (can be w/o cleaning - doesnt' matter) Path A: C:\Users\[username]\blabla Path B: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\blabla Path A = Path B .. and they are being scanned twice. First "compatibility" path, and after - "real" path... And unfortunetely, there is also C:\ProgramData ... Which results in a damn high scan time with lot's of false-postive results: ESET Endpoint A/V 6.1.2227 ERA Server 6.1.365.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,243 Posted May 15, 2015 Administrators Share Posted May 15, 2015 If you run an in-depth scan, Smart optimization is disabled so it's obvious that files maybe be scanned multiple times in case of symbolic links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
